I am TERRIBLE in math and I thought he was a bad teacher until I had to take the class over again (yes, again!). After having another teacher the 2nd time I realized that Mr. Askarpour was, in fact, a great professor. He works with you until you really understand what you are doing. He is also willing to help outside of his normal office hours.

I am horrible at math, but Kambiz helped me to understand it a lot more. He is really helpful and likes to sing during class, sometimes it's New Kids on the block which is really funny. You have problems to do every night which really isn't too bad if you're like me and forget what you've learned by the next class.

I hated math failed 081 in the past. I wish I had Prof K early on in my academic journey. I did 083 and 135 under his instruction , passed both classes with high grades and great knowledge.

Be careful taking this professor. He has a nick for talking down to people. I only had three interactions with him about how to submit my work and he managed to be show he was condescending, and negative. The material wasn't bad , the attitude was horrible.

Professor K is very passionate about math and extremely intelligent; he break down the material so it easy to understand and give examples to practice. He STRONGLY encourages studying, practicing and repetitio, he can come off as rude when asking a question but I don' believe it's intentional I believe his accent comes off strong. Great Professor

I liked Prof. Kambiz. Remedial class, so no credit. I'm not a great math student, and he broke it down so that I was able to understand. I don't enjoy math itself, but I enjoyed his class. The homework he assigns is for your understanding, and is not graded, which was great. If you struggle with math like I did, he's a good Prof to have.

Professor Askarpour was amazing, I love that he recorded his lectures and post them after class, which gives us the opportunity to go back a catch something we may have missed in class. He replies to emails and will even send you videos on the problems you are having trouble with. I enjoyed this class and would definitely recommend taking his class

This teacher is honestly super sweet. He is very accommodating. I was unable to make it to most of the exams and he still let me reschedule a time to take them. He is also a fair grader. People say he is harsh with his tone but I think he means well. Make sure you show up to class and ask a lot of questions and you will be sure to pass.

This is my second time w/ Prof. Kambiz, and my opinion stands; great professor. Really breaks things down, making them easy to understand. Homework is given, but not for a grade but rather, for reinforcement. Many test questions were taken directly from the book. Pay attention and do the work, and he'll make sure you succeed.

I just want to start by saying that he is not the nicest but I promise you, if you be quiet, come to class ready to learn and do the homework the way he assigns it, you will pass. You have to study, your grade is based on your effort. He explains math in a way you will understand. And the quizzes and test are exactly what we went over in class.

I would recommend this professor just from taking this class over the FALL semester he was really good. I know he can be a little nasty when talking to students was somewhat mean but I didn't blame him because some of questions people ask was right there in there faces and wasnt paying attention. Lectures are very IMPORTANT TAKE NOTES. Fair Grader!

He is an excellent professor. He is not the nicest but he is fair. My advice when taking him, come to every class, study whatever study guide he gives you atleast twice, pay attention, do all the homework. He will not grade it, he assigns it so you can better understand the material. He will not mislead you or confuse you! Do those things, easy A

I had Prof. Askarpour for a winter course so a few things may be skewed by the nature of those classes. Prof. Askarpou knows the subject he teaches very well and breaks it down in an understandable way. He has a bit of an accent so some of the things he says are a little ahrd to understannd but generally he will clarify if needed.

Professor Askarpour was such a good professor. Math has never been one of my strong classes, but I learned so much and had a great semester in his class. His lectures are heavy, taking notes is super important. He can be very rude at times but is super helpful and explains things very clearly. I would definitely recommend taking him.

Great Professor. Many are saying he's mean, however I never got that vibe off of him. I think it's just the way he carries himself, as he says something which comes off as rude but he has no such intention. That aside, everything else is great! As others have said, he's a great teacher and teaches everything with clarity!
